While the traditional World Series of Poker (WSOP) isn’t taking place until the Fall, there’s still plenty of poker action in Las Vegas this summer. Arguably the biggest and most anticipated is this very tournament, but if you’re looking to make a trip to Sin City this summer, we’ve come up with a suggested agenda of tournaments to play from June 25-July 13.
“This was a fun schedule to plan and involved multiple properties collaborating with one goal in mind - to create a 3-4 week window that was jam-packed with events,” said Wynn Director of Poker Operations Ryan Beauregard. “We knew that if we fit the pieces together correctly, it would create a seamless schedule with a variety of price points and allow players to maximize their tournament schedule while in Las Vegas.”
Who knew you could fit so many great events into a two-week period!
